Broward County Commission Regular Meeting

MOTION TO DISCUSS potential amendment to Section 29.16j of the Broward County Administrative Code to create a second annual grant application cycle for unobligated funds remaining in the Tourist Development Tax Capital Challenge Grant Program. (Commissioner Geller)

ACTION:  (T-11:34 AM)  Following Board discussion, the Board directed staff to investigate potential amendments to Section 29.16j of the Broward County Administrative Code to create a second annual grant application cycle for unobligated funds remaining in the Tourist Development Tax Capital Challenge Grant Program.  (Refer to minutes for full discussion.)

A discussion of the above-referenced issue would allow the Board to determine the need for an amendment to the Administrative Code.

It allows the Board to discuss the need for an amendment to the Administrative Code.

Section 29.16j of the Broward County Administrative Code allows certain entities to apply for funds from the Tourist Development Tax Capital Challenge Grant Program ("Program"). After award of the grant funds to eligible entities, there may be an unobligated balance in the Program.

This item would allow the Board to discuss the need or desire for a second application cycle when unobligated funds remain, so there would be a process in place for when entities would apply for such unobligated funds. This item would also provide guidance to the Office of the County Attorney in drafting any potential amendment to Section 29.16j of the Administrative Code, including with regard to waiver of certain provisions relating to applications.
